I am an experienced musician but new to harp. I have built and played guitars and ukuleles and played keyboards, bass and Sax.

The harpsicle arrived well packed and in perfect condition despite its transatlantic journey. It tuned up nicely. The strings are still stretching out but it is well on its way to stability. No issues with how it was delivered.

The fit and finish are excellent for the price with every detail taken care of. There is not a rough edge on the harp and it was clearly made with considerable care. The quality of the wood is very good rather than exceptional but considering the price, far better than I had any right to expect. It looks better than it does in the photo on the site but it is clearly designed with function ahead of form.

The tone is a little bright but it is brand new so that will improve with time. The tone is best around middle C and least impressive around the extremes - possible as a result of the symmetrical soundboard. However, it is remarkably clean and clear even at the high end. It seems like a good balance has been struck.

I am 6'1" so this sits nicely on my lap and I think that a smaller person would find everything in reach.I may go with the stick but I have any number of guitar straps around the place.

The supplied tuning wrench works well and fits nicely in the hand.

The overall feel of the instrument is that it was made by someone that cares about quality and the end result is a very playable and pleasing instrument. There is a lot of craftmanship here.

Oh, and this thing is insanely light. It is only just heavier than some of my ukes and lighter than any of my electric guitars.

I bought the harpsicle for my 11 year old daughter who loves classical music and is learning piano as well. While I know little about harps, I am an owner of several high-end PRS guitars and believe I have an eye and appreciation for quality instruments and I must say, this is one fantastic little harp. The quality, construction, aesthetics (pink of course) and sound are first rate and it is a joy to hear her develop her skills on this fine instrument. I highly recommend the harpsicle to anyone interested in exploring the harp for the first time.

The Harpsicle harp is of excellent musician-level quality. It is not for decor, though it could be used as such, it is well made and beautiful.

It is light and has great tone. (Coming from a complete novice at harps but an experienced guitar player).

It is very easy to use. I got it for my wife, for Christmas, and though she is completely new to harps, and has no real serious experience with any stringed instrument, and is in no way mechanically inclined, after a few days of playing on it I heard her tuning it to an alternate tuning to play a specific song.

Here is where you need to make a choice in the model of Harpsicle you purchase: this is the base model. Though it is of the same quality of the upper models, this one has no levers. This means that you must tune it to accidental notes, (sharps and flats), before playing. You cannot add accidentals during a song. If you purchase a model with levers, (Sharpsicle, Flatsicle, Fullsicle), you tune the accidentals on the fly.

I also got her harp lessons along with the harp, and all the teachers I talked to thought the harpsicle was a great harp not only for my wife's beginning lessons, but would be plenty of harp for years to come.

This is not some cheesy, cheapo harp, (though the price is very reasonable), that you will not be able to keep in tune or learn on. If I may use guitars as an example, you can spend less money on a cheap guitar but the action will be bad, it will buzz, it will have muted tone, it will not stay in tune, etc, etc. If you've had any experience with guitars you might been through that frustration. THIS IS NOT THE CASE THE WITH HARPSICLE. I can't stress enough that you can buy it with confidence that it is a quality instrument that will actually make music.

I purchased this harp with the hopes of getting a nice beginner harp and this harp has been perfect. It has a very nice sound and it also keeps tune well. On top of all this, the instrument is beautiful. The picture on this website can't really capture it.
